Ok just on holiday in the sun and noticed how shiney the ultra hold is in the sun light anyone got any tips on makin it less shiney?

Just tape it with your finger. (make sure your hands are clean). it knocks the shine right down.

I meant to say TAP it with your finger. silly me. my fingers type faster than my mind can think. ha ha

I don't use UH, but I've had shine at the front with various tapes in direct sun situations. An option is to make the rest of your knot shiny......a "wet look" styling product worked great for me at the beach
